So I mentioned something Sunday, I believe, about being pissed off about people joking about abuse.
I'm going back to that.
I had a really bad bruise on my left forearm that I got a little after midnight on the 1st this month. To ring in the newyear I had drank two of those fruity strawberry daquari winecooler thingys. -Nothing major! There's on like 3 or 4% alcohol per drink.- I felt fine, perhaps slightly buzzed-ish, then Trey and I went to bed. I got up a few minutes later needing to pee and I stumbled on his shoes in the middle of the floor. I bent down to move them and teased him about leaving them there knowing how clumsy I am, then as I stood back up to head towards the door, I stood up too fast and lost my balance.
I wound up falling into the wall/his guitar case which left a huge black bruise on my arm.
No one noticed it at work Friday night, but Saturday... when I was completely mute, they saw it and asked what happened. When I tried to explain (which is hard to do when you can barely muster up a noise) they started joking that Trey had been beating me. Then they brought my loss of voice into it. "Oh I see! You were going to tell someone he was hitting you, so he strangled you so you couldn't?"
No. -.-
1) Trey is not like that. It pisses me off when people even joke about that.
2) Joking about abuse is not funny. If someone really was being abused, your jokes about it would just make them uncomfortable and probably afraid to speak out on it. I've had people make jokes about sexual abuse and stuff while it was actually happening to me (with an ex, not Trey) and it made me feel worse. I felt more responsible and like it was less of an issue. Abuse is a serious matter. You shouldn't joke and down play it.
3) There probably would've been a third thing if I had done this Sunday like I planned but I've cooled down enough from it so there's not.
4) Oh, and I'm sure if people notice this they'll comment about it too...
Someone broke a coffee mug that was in the bathroom upstairs (why it was in there? I have no clue) and I picked it up to take it downstairs and throw it away and an edge got me. :/
It burns and I don't know where the neosporin is... I wish Trey would get back soon.
